I’m old. I lean on things. I happened to lean on the outdoor socket on my 215RBK when I stood up from placing the X-Chocks and it moved. A lot. I realized that they were using the foam on the outlet cover to seal the giant hole in the side of the trailer. And since it is just a pressure fit it was going to move over time – even if I didn’t help it along by being old.

After reading enough posts about propane tanks being stolen, I decided to do a simple mod to secure the tanks on my 216RBK. I drilled a hole through the giant wing-nut and a matching pair through the security bar that…
There were several surprising things about the outdoor kitchen. There are 4 large holes in the back of the kitchen and a few small ones that are superhighways for critters. On nice days we tend to leave the door open so this had to be fixed. Coleman generally makes good products but the included grill…
